What's in my Shower?

Happy Monday everyone! A little sneak peak of what I use in my Shower. I love the feeling of getting squeaky clean at the end of the day :) 

1. Soap n Glory Clean, Girls Body Wash - My favorite scent out of the entire Soap n Glory range! This legit smells like a dreammm. If you're curious, go to Sephora and have a little sniffy sniff. You can now get this on Zalora.com with 15% discount! Use this promo code : ZBAPqLL
2. Michael Todd Tropical Fruit Gentle Exfoliant Scrub
3. L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverSleek - The best shampoo I've tried till date. Luxola doesn't ship this to Malaysia anymore and none of the salons here carry this range of products. So if you are going to Singapore anytime soon, make a visit to Watsons Singapore! (Product Link)
4. Watsons Argan Oil Shampoo - Blogpost alert. In depth review coming up this week!
5. Soap n Glory Peaches and Clean
6. Skinfood Pineapple Peeling Gel
7. Olay Regenerist Megasonic Specialist Cleanser - This is a fraction of the price of the well known Clarisonic. Come on, RM 600 is too much to be spent on a cleansing machine. Perhaps one day in the future I'll get it but for now, This one will do. The brush head does need to be replaced every 3 months. And yes, mine is looking a little brown :/ Gotta replace asap.
8. Soap n Glory The Ultimelt Hot Cloth Cleanser - Review coming up next Friday.
9. John Freida Frizz-Ease Conditioner

What product staple do you have in your shower? <3 Just in case you missed my last post, I blogged about my favorite person of  the week!

PM Skincare

I am not sure about this. Do you enjoy the process of slapping on beauty products on the face before bed? I definitely do. While toning and moisturizing my face and all other jazz, I'll watch YouTube videos that I have saved up specially for the night. I find it important for a lady to unwind completely before bed. Especially if you are a light sleeper light me, its crucial to 'leave' your day outside the door.

These are all of the products I use at before bedtime.

Laneige Light Balancing Emulsion - Loving at the moment. No breakout nor clog pores. Still testing out!

Kiehls Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream - I use this in addition to the Laneige Balancing Emulsion. This Oil-Free Moisturizer has a thicker consistency than Laneige, therefore its the final step of my whole routine.

Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate - This is magical. I don't know what is in it, but my skin looks better and better every morning.

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub - Quite pricey for sugar and natural oil (literally). But I've had this since last September and not even running low yet! Worth it to me :) The nearest Lush is in Singapore and they do deliver to Malaysia. I got mine at Lush in Covent Garden, London.

Nivea Lip Butter - Had this for 13 months already and I'm only half way through! *thumbs up* But I think I'll throw it away after one more month of use because product that comes in a pot/tub gets contaminated very easily. So its safer to switch it up after a year.

Mario Badescu aloe, herbs and rosewater facial spray - Simple enough for random spritz and provides a layer of moisture to the skin. I spritz this on my face as the first step to prep it for further serum & moisturizer action.

The Body Shop Organic cotton rounds - I bought it when it was 50% off Rm19.90. So I paid Rm10 for about 3 months supply of cotton rounds haha :p

Michael Todd Organic Eye Cream - Not loving it as much as I used to. Could be the fact that the consistency of the product changes over time. Or he fact that my under eye area has became drier.

This is the rose water from Mamonde that I'm currently testing. Will it work as well as my Mario Badescu? We'll see =)

AM Skincare

I don't think anyone is a morning person. For me, yes sometimes but most of the days I would rather snuggle up in my bed for 3 more mins. Therefore when it comes to skincare, I don't do alot. As I use quite a heavy oil serum in the night, a gentle cleanser and simple skincare is the way to go!

1. Colgate Carbon toothbrush 

2. Soap n Glory 3-in-1 Daily Detox Vitamin C Facial Wash - Favorite morning cleanser till date! Its not drying on my skin at all and gives my face a glow after each wash. Most importantly it removes oily residue from previous night, leaving the skin feeling clean and soft. Have been using this for the past 7 months and it has definitely lasted me well! Got mine at Sephora. 

3. Michael Todd Tropical Fruit Enzyme Exfoliant Scrub - I don't use this every morning but if my skin feels crappy and dull, this is an extra step to 'revive' sleepy skin. Get it here or here.

4. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rose Water - Provides a lightweight moisture to replenish moisture lost earlier. This product smells like rosy goodness without being too overpowering. Overall a great and simple product that doesn't irritate the skin. Got mine at Luxola.com. Luxola always have discount codes hanging around so definitely check it out before paying the full price =D

5. Nivea Lip Butter - Moisturizes the lips without drying them after 3 hours. For some reason other lip balm used previously always dries my lips hours after application. This product is not available in Malaysia yet. Got mine at boots in UK.

6. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream- I am not too picky with moisturizers. As long as it does its job and does not clog my pores. Currently using the 2nd tub of this but might switch to different ones soon after this is emptied out! Why not explore right? Got mine from Kiehl's.

7. Michael Todd Intensive Organic Cream Eye Treatment - Has a very runny texture but good enough for daytime under eye moisturization.


The whole routine would take up to max 5 mins in the morning. Now, that's reasonable :)

Product Empties Part I

October is finally here and....*drum rolls* its time for an installment of product empties collected throughout the past 9 months! Some of them I loved and repurchased but some of them didn't really work for me. Long post ahead haha!

1. John Freida Frizz Ease Hair Serum - This is my favorite hair serum till date as it has an insignificant scent and worked really well taming my frizzy Asian hair up to 8 hours a day. If you live in the UK, John Freida can be found at any Boots outlet or even online. However if you are a fellow Malaysian like me, try asking your friends in the UK for a favor ^_^

2. Soap & Glory Scrub Em and Leave Em Body Buff - The scrub does work pretty well but I cant say its the best I have tried. Not my favorite scent from Soap & Glory. Plus, the granules are pretty coarse causing the scrub to 'fall' off my body when I exfoliate. Good news for us pretty Malaysians because you can find Soap & Glory at all Sephora outlets. (or boots.com)

3. Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub - I love this! The smell is great, consistency is thick enough to work it in and skin feels luxurious after each use. Get it and let me know if you like it! (or boots.com)

4. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Medium & Brunette - Very useful product for lazy days which is most of the days. Haha.

5. L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverCreme -  My favorite from the range, currently running low on the 2nd tube already! I've tried EverRiche and EverStrong but neither control my flyaway and frizziness as good as this one. Hair feels 'in-place'. Bought mine from Luxola.

6. L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverStrong - Overall a good shampoo. Hair feels clean and shiny but EverCreme provides the same effect with extra softness added to the hair.

7. Rexona Deodorant in Shower Clean 

8. St Ives Shower Gel in Mineral Therapy - Nothing special. Does not moisturize my skin as much as I want it to. Bought mine from Watsons.

9. Michael Todd True Organics Blur Green Algae Toner - This is my 2nd bottle and I have one more to go in my beauty closet. It was a favorite of mine but I find it pretty drying on my skin recently as my skin has became less oily. You can get it here or mysale.my

10. Essence Eyeliner - I used this to tight line. Good product but it dried out quite fast.

11. Maybelline Mineral Concealer in 02 - Not a fan of the light coverage that does nothing to the dark circles and it creased so badly :c

12. 17 Oil-control Makeup Remover - Worked really well removing waterproof mascara, no oily residue plus its affordable! Bought mine at Boots Thailand during the Buy 1 Free 1 sale.

13. Essence Multi Action Waterproof Mascara - Gave me good amount of volume but definitely not waterproof and dried out so fast.

14. Essence Stay No Matter What Mascara - Favorite out of the whole essence mascara range! Volume it gave was like falsies. The down side is that it smudged on me :c If you do not have oily eyelids like me, I recommend you give this gem a try. Can be found at Watsons.

15. L'Oreal Gentle Eye and Lips Makeup Remover -  Did nothing removing anything. Not even concealer underneath my eyes.

16. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel - Loved it but currently obsessing over my Khiels gel moisturizer. Not gonna repurchase anytime soon.

17. Michael Todd True Organics Honey n Oat Cleanser - Great great great cleanser. Does not dry out the skin, removes face makeup beautifully and most importantly it doubles up as a brush cleanser! Get it here or mysale.my

18. 17 Doll'd up Mascara - Does not hold a curl so what I did was applying it to my bottom lashes.


That's all for this installment of trash review :) Let me know what products you have used up and still love <3
