Cathy Doll Lipstick [Swatches & Review]

2:45:00 PM,0 Comments



Hi! Assalamualaikum. I think by now, you guys must already noticed how much I love lipsticks. So today’s blog is another liquid lipstick swatches and review. For the past year, I have noticed that many brands are competing to produce matte liquid lipstick be it on better formula, more colours and overall product look in terms of bottle, packaging and such. Keep reading if you want to know my opinion on this product.

[Review]
Cathy Doll
Nude Me Liquid Lip Matte



What It Claims: Introducing the trending lip matte that features fast-drying effect. The soft and long-lasting texture offers high-adherence, non-drying, leave no stain, conceal lip lines, long wearing, waterproof and smudge-proof. This popular item looks classic on all and certainly matches all skin colours!! Enhance charm to your lips with all the 18 colours available for you to choose.

Ingredients: Isododecane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Beeswax, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, CI 77491, Kaolin, Silica Ci 45410, Dimethicone, Vp/Eicosene Copolymer, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, CI 7492, CI 42090, CI 77499, Phenoxyethenol, BHT, Flavour, Propylene Carbonate.




Swatches:
Even though they have about 18 colours, but I only bought five (5) colours which I think I might be using, but all of their colours are beautiful. So here is my swatches.



















Personal Review:
First of all let’s talk about the packaging. The box is so beautiful, it represent the colour well and each of the boxes features of their dolls, and overall it is really eye catchy. The bottle of the lipstick is also nice, when I store them with my other liquid lipsticks, I can differentiate them well as their bottle are in beige colours and bigger size than normal liquid lipstick usually are.



The lipstick itself is really liquid and runny, make it easier to apply and blend on my lips too. However, some colours are quite patchy especially Lust Red Wine, so you might need to apply second layer and spread it well to cover the patchy application. Some colours also bleed a bit, so be careful when applying because once it dries, its going stay there.

When apply it is actually lighter than when it was completely dry. So be mind that, when it dry it is going to be darker colour just like the box itself. So you might think, ooo this is nice colour for the look when you applying it, but when it goes darker and when it dries, may not be the colour that you wanted in the first place. For me, I don’t really mind, as I love lipsticks that really rich in colour than sheers.



Once it is dry, it is as it claims to be, it is waterproof, smudge-proof and long wearing (super long wearing). However, since it is a matte liquid lipstick, I can definitely see my lip lines and it is still quite dry for my lips – but not too drying that can cause discomfort. Therefore, I recommend that you guys put some lip balm or any hydrating oil on your lips for few minutes, then remove it before applying any matte liquid lipstick. It also claims that it leaves no stain which I find that the red-based ones, kind of stain my lips after I remove them and it is quite hard to remove the stain too.

I really like the applicator brush too. It is very nice – the brush is a doe-foot type but it has a bit curve at the surface of the applicator so it hugs perfectly on the lips.  



I love the lipstick, I even have influenced a few of my friend to buy this lipstick. They tried mine and they went to buy for themselves. Since the formula is nice, I’m hoping Cathy Doll will keep continue producing this liquid lipstick, improve some of the colours and produce more colours and options too.

Overall opinion:
Do I like it? Yes. Will I re-purchase it? Depends, since I have a lot lipstick maybe no. But if they produce more colours in the future, I might buy it, but it also depends on my preferences of the colours. Do I recommend it? Yes! Go get them! It is nice matte liquid lipstick.

Lucido-L Hair Vitamin Oil - Damaged Hair [Review]

10:00:00 AM,0 Comments



Hi! Assalamualaikum. As you guys can see from the title, it has been awhile since my hair care review. So today, let’s talk about a hair oil. It is not an easy task to care your hair as much as skin care. Beauty is pain you guys! It takes a lot time, effort and money. And somehow at certain point, it disappoints you as the products does not work wonder as you expect it to be. So today, I want to share a product that I fell in love recently – Lucido-L Hair Vitamin Oil.

[Review]
Lucido-L
Triple Beauty Vitamin Oil | For Damaged Hair 

Lucido- L is a brand from Japan, the packaging always catches my attention and I have been using their Hair Spray for years now. Before this I used other hair sprays, but I really hate how typical hair spray smell, and usually it’s really suffocating. Then one day, I bought Lucido-L hair spray then I fell in love and keep buying it ever since. So since lately, I kind of noticed my hair grew to be quite drying just how my skin turns out. It feels coarse and frizzy. For your information, I have never bleached my hair neither I have ever colour it all – not as of today. So the damaged might be because of hair curlers, blow drying or even maybe because of my diet – lack of water and etc.


So it is come to my attention that I need a hair oil, something that can moisturize my hair long enough, something that could stick to my hair, help it to repair and absorb well. Usually I stay away from hair oil, because often they only coated my hair but it did not absorb INTO the hair. So later then, it will feel really greasy and oily. Serious tak best! So I watched a few review and decided to give it a try.



-What It Claims: “Non-sticky feeling, Non rinse, Light Floral fragrance. Triple Vitamin Oil (A, C and E) with combination of Olive Oil and Mositurizing Agent help to make your damaged hair become  Shiny, Smooth and Moist Hair”


Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Dipehnysiloxy phenyl trimethicone, fragrance, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl, lauroyl glutamate, tocopheryl acetate, helianthus annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) fruit oil, glycine soja (soya bean) oil, retinyl palmitate, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherol.

How to Use It:
After shampooing your hair, tower-dried and apply the product. Focus mainly on hair tips and re-apply if needed.


Personal Review:
Usually, I kind of avoid oil stuff for my hair, because those, the hair oils that I tried, they do not absorb well and often they just ‘coated’ my hair with the oil. Therefore, it does look quite greasy and I didn’t see any changes. I can see that this one absorb quite well.


One thing I have noticed straightway since my first impression of the product, it make my hair dry faster. Personally, Vee prefer to air dry my hair rather than using a hair dryer – to avoid damaging my hair, but since my hair quite thick so it hard to do so. Usually, I take hours and hours in a day to get my hair totally air dry. But this somehow amazingly make my hair dry even faster, just some part of this thick hair of mine (usually those underneath hair) that needed hair dryer but yet again, I don’t need to spend so much time on drying all of my hair. It just makes everything easier!


It does make my hair look shiny and smoother as it claims to be. I like how it makes my hair look, it feels so soft and smooth – I just want to play with my hair. But I can still see my hair a bit frizzy and dryness at the tips – that maybe need time to repair. As it claims, it is non-sticky neither greasy, but if your natural hair is quite oily you need to mind how much you put on your hair since it is oil-based. I would suggest start small, and re-apply whenever you feel your hair is unmanageable, so you won’t make it too much just enough for your hair needs.

Another plus point! I love the scent, it has floral scent but not too much, because heavy fragrance hair products always makes my head dizzy, but this one, I would say it just nice.

Overall opinion:
Do I like it? Yes, LIKE LIKE LIKE. Will I re-purchase it? Definitely! Do I recommend it? Yes! It’s really cheap too!

Dr. Morita Triple Hyaluronic Acid Mositurizing Facial Mask [Review]

10:24:00 PM,8 Comments



Hi! Assalamualaikum. Today, let’s talk about face mask. The most interesting part of skin care routine, is using face mask! Who doesn’t love a good face mask right? Hydrating face mask is good for dry skin-type – like me or even for oily skin-type, because a well hydrated skin will help to calm your skin, tak kira lah what types of skin that you have, therefore, you will have less chance of getting blemishes or problems.  So today’s mask, I will talk about this Taiwan's brand – Dr.Morita Triple Hyaluronic Essence Facial Mask.

[Review]
Dr.Morita
Triple Hyaluronic Acid | Moisturizing Essence Facial Mask


To be honest, hydrating face mask has helped my skin so much, since my skin is dry and dehydrated, so nak depends solely pada moisturizer sahaja is not enough for my skin. So every night especially bila rajin, Vee akan tepek hydrating face mask for 15-20 minutes then continue with moisturizer. Usually, Vee akan try my best to include face mask in my daily routine, but normal lah, there are days, that I’m too lazy to do lengthy skin care routine.



What It Claims: “Depth sustained moisturizing skin for a long time. Whitening and moisturizing skin and leave skin young and energetic.” It also claims that it contains high concentration essence, (so balance2 dalam face mask tu jangan buang ye, usually I just use cotton pad, soak with it lepas tu tepek kat on your neck areas).

Apa tu, Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid is sangat terkenal dalam cosmetics/skin care products, kerana dia boleh act as moisturizer and make skin look supple– melembapkan kulit. Hyaluronic acid ini juga membantu untuk mempercepatkan process wound healing dan ianya membantu untuk attract and lock water to your skin. Bukan sahaja untuk melembapkan kulit, hyaluronic acid juga membantu untuk help fight skin aging juga. Sebab itu, hyaluronic acid ni adalah ingredients yang famous in skin care products.

According to this packaging, face mask ni contain, Triple Hyaluronic Acid, which are large, medium and small hyaluronic molecules which would help to maximize its function to your skin.



Ingredients: Water/Aqua, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium PCA, PPG-28-Buteth-35, Niacinamide, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Siglycerin, Polyglycerin-3, Glycosyl Trehalose, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Xanthan Gum, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Panthenol, Sodium Carbomer, Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer, Allantoin, Mannitol, Squalane, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance, Caffeine, Zinc Gluconate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, PCA, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Glycine, Alanine, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Serine, Valine, Proline, Threonine, Isoleucine, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Ulva Lactuca Extract, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Enteromorpha Compressa Extract, Palmaria Palmata Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract.

Let’s Check the Ingredients:
http://acneclinicnyc.com/pore-clogging-ingredients/ - No Clogging Ingredients! Yeayyy.
http://www.cosdna.com/eng/cosmetic_f717392113.html - This one’s pun so far ratings is good, so it is safe to use.

How to Use It:
Use face mask at "Mask (hydrating)" steps, After "Cleanser" & "Toner". Apply the face mask for about 10-15 minutes, the massage the remaining into the skin. No need to rinse off the mask, then continue with your routine lah. For me usually after this, I will continue using moisturizer to lock everything in the skin.



Personal Review:
The face mask betul-betul ada banyak leftover of the essence, which I love, usually I akan soak my cotton pad with the essence and place them on my neck, because don’t forget your neck okay, nanti you guys nampak cantik youthful face only, your neck naaah =(. In terms of whitening, not really sure, maybe I need to use more to see the result. But even though it is whitening sheet mask, which usually stings on my skin, but this one didn’t – so yeah nice one!

The hydration is nice! My skin feels quite hydrated, even though Vee pakai for almost 20 minutes, but the sheet mask ni belum lagi kering, masih lagi basah. So thumbs up that! Yeayy! Don’t ever leave your sheet mask sampai kering or overnight on your skin, defeat the purpose of using sheet mask nanti. Because you want it to hydrate your skin, if you do that, you akan buat your skin dry balik. Does it really do wonder for me skin? Truthfully, I’m not really sure. But I will definitely purchase more and use it for my skin. Because I love the hydration it gives!

Overall opinion:
Do I like it? Yes, I LIKE it. Will I re-purchase it? Definitely! Do I recommend it? Yes! Especially to dry skin types!

Klairs Supple Preparation Toner & Toner Mate 2 in 1 Cotton Pad [Review]

9:53:00 PM,0 Comments



Hi! Assalamualaikum. Untuk post kali ni, Vee akan share another skin care product dari Korea yang memang ramai orang rave about it – Klairs Supple Preparation Toner dan Klairs Toner Mate 2 in 1 Cotton Pad. Like I have mentioned before, Vee struggling with severe acne and skin problems for the past year that is why one of the reason I have been slowing down with my write up or reviewing any products. I just want to make sure that it does work or does not work for me before coming here and share my thoughts with you guys.

[Review]
Klairs
Supple Preparation Toner & Toner Mate 2 in 1 Cotton Pad


Yup! Ini memang antara salah satu skincare items dari Korea yang ramai orang hype about it. So I decided to give a try. At first Vee cuma beli travel size sahaja sebab dia agak expensive for me, so I tak nak bazir duit, if it does not work for my skin. At the time I try this product, actually I was already hopeless, tak tahu nak pakai apa dah to help my skin. Banyak sangat bumps, acne, rough skin and dry patches.

My skin condition: I did not realize that my skin actually dry skin, because dia too dry, dia over producing oil menyebabkan kulit nampak oily dan clogged my pores eventually jadi acne. Plus, whenever I went to buy skincare stuff, there will always SA yang akan against I dari buy stuff for dry skin and they all agree that I have OILY SKIN which NOT TRUE, I actually have DRY SKIN. At certain point I jadi termakan dengan opinion/advice dorang ni. Then, since those skincare stuffs are not meant for my skin, eventually made my skin even WORSE! Since I have DRY SKIN, tapi I guna products yang lagi kering kan my skin, so end up, my skin TOO DRY, TOO SENSITIVE, REDNESS EVERYWHERE, FULL WITH ACNE AND BUMPS, THINNING MY SKIN and the worst part ITCHY SANGAT-SANGAT, because it is too dry. My face always panas, sebab terlalu kering.

So guys, my advice it’s okay to get opinion, tapi you sendiri decide whether your skin sesuai ke tak, atau nak beli ke tak. If you choose something yang you believe suits for your skin tapi SA still force you untuk buy product yang dia recommend, just tell them, “I made my decision, it’s my skin and can you guarantee it will not do harm to my skin? You boleh bertanggungjawab ke if anything happened?” Sebab nak rosakkan skin ni, pakai product sebulan pun dah boleh teruk sangat-sangat – like my case. Tapi nak heal your skin balik, I took more more than 1 YEAR itu pun masih belum fully heal lagi.

At this point, truthfully, I even feel embarrassed to go out actually. If you guys nak sure your skin type, boleh pergi Dermatologists or Skin Clinics to get consultation. So that you senang nak cari skin care yang sesuai. So I bought the toner in travel size and give a go, since I watched a lot Korean content creator & reviewer who has the same problems like me, loving this toner. So I took a risk and give it a go.


SUPPLE PREPARATION TONER

What It Claims: “Balances the skin’s pH level and improves the effectiveness of your entire skincare regime, helping you to achieve your best skin. Enhance the effectiveness of serums and creams with the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner that balances your skin’s natural pH levels, creating the perfect canvas for your skin care products.

Let’s Check the Ingredients:
http://acneclinicnyc.com/pore-clogging-ingredients/ - no clogging ingredients! Yeayyy.
http://cosdna.com/eng/cosmetic_814a340718.html - This one’s pun so far ratings is good, so it is safe to use.



How to Use It:
Boleh letak je pada tapak tangan kemudian pat sahaja ke muka untuk more absorption atau boleh gunakan kapas untuk apply toner ni ke muka. Toner ni boleh guna 3/5/7 methods techniques – teknik ni maksudnya kita pakai toner tu, 3/5/7 kali. Kira kita layering kan toner untuk more moisturing effect.



TONER MATE 2 IN 1 COTTON PAD
2 in 1 Cotton Pad, ada 2 jenis cotton pad dalam satu kotak. Usually kan cotton pad yang kita beli untuk remove makeup or pakai toner kat drugstore kan macam tebal, sangat berkapas dan berbulu kan, tapi yang ni tak.




What It Claims: “Two types of facial cotton pads to maximize the effects of the Klairs toner, in one box.

Compressed cotton pad : 100% cotton for soft, smooth skin. A certified 100% pure cotton pad designed for the Klairs toner, compressed 5 times with the waterjet process. Wipe away irritants and gently exfoliate for soft, smooth skin. Use before other skin care products to help aid absorption. Increase hydration, decrease product waste.

Sponge pad: Increase hydration, decrease the amount of product used. Air laid pulp fabric designed to act like a sponge. Doesn’t absorb the product fully, but soaks up the toner to effectively deliver the full hydration to the skin. Rather than wiping, use a patting motion to calm and cool irritated skin.”
Compressed Cotton Pad: 100% cotton, Sponge Cotton Pad: Pulp/Rayon Blend




Personal Review:
I REALLY LOVE this toner! It save my skin, paling penting dia soothes my skin, dah tak rasa tegang sangat dan dah tak itchy. This toner really help to calm my skin at the same time moisturize it well. This toner pun somehow help to prepare my skin for the next step, jadi bila Vee pakai serum/essence/moisturizer, toner help products lain stuck on my skin which I really love! This one memang help my skin so much! Tak tahu lah macam mana nak explain untuk gambarkan how much I adore and love this one and how much it has helped my skin.

And Vee sangat suka 3/5/7 methods techniques ni sebab 1 kali patting toner ni kat my skin, Vee rasa macam not enough, so Vee gunakan technique 3/5/7 methods techniques untuk maximise kan moisture to my skin. Pagi Vee akan guna 3 methods techniques tapi malam Vee akan buat 5/7 methods techniques, depends on how much my skin needs or depends the condition I’m in, kadang-kadang dah malam, penat nak cepat, so depends.

After layering technique ni, usually Vee akan soaked kan Sponge cotton pad then Vee akan tampal dia di tempat yang mana skin Vee very sensitive, senang naik jerawat dan itchy. Technique ni macam ala-ala mini mask macam tu, but using toner. Kalau nak guna technique mini mask ni atau 3/5/7 methods technique make sure, toner tu toner yang hydrating bukan jenis astringent or AHA/BHA toner.




So far Vee guna like 3 travel size toner ni, and already finished 2 full size (180 ml) and now I am using the third bottle! It is really good! The cotton pad pun nice, tapi it just cotton pad, to some people dia agak expensive. Walaupun dia absorb product well, but cotton pad ni transfer the products well to the skin too. Because usually kan, sponge or cotton ni, bila pakai kita rasa membazir sebab dia absob banyak products kan tapi tak banyak yang sampai ke kulit kita bila apply. Personally I don’t think so with this one. Walaupun rasa quite expensive, but I really enjoy using cotton pad dia, yang compressed ones I really like guna dengan micellar water to remove makeup or remove eye makeup. Yang Sponge, Vee since dia absorb well so I really like using it as mini mask.

Overall opinion:
Overall opinion? I LOOOOOVVEE the toner. Tapi some people find this irritate thier skin, so if you have sensitive skin, there is another one version toner ni – Supple Preparation Unscented Toner, maybe you guys can try this one instead. But I am okay with the normal toner tu despite of my severe skin condition. The cotton pad? It is really nice, comes in two (2) types and tak berbulu and tak irritate my skin. It absorb products well but it transfer well jugak.

Do I like it? SUPER LIKE it. Will I re-purchase it? Definitely! Do I recommend it? Yes! Especially to those suffer and has the same skin condition like mine.
