April Beauty Review

Once in a while I remind myself that this blog started out with the intention on focusing on beauty/ makeup. 


Ok, I know I'm not very good at remaining focused. Which is probably why I'll never make it as the 'top beauty blogger', or the top blogger, full stop. 


I just don't find it interesting to stay focused on one topic! 
Life is more than just beauty. Or makeup. Or art. It's a mix of everything and anything. 


But I digress. The point is... I tried out some of these products in the last few months. And here's what I think of 'em. 


Cellnique's Body Shower Gel 




It was quite a puzzle for me to receive this in the mail from Cellnique. I mean, I like their products and all, but how different can shower gel be from another brand? 


Nevertheless, I tried, hoping for some miraculous selling point for me to mention here to convince you to spend a whopping RM60 on a really not-so-large bottle of shower gel. 


After months of trying, sorry Cellnique, but nope. Nada. No selling point. 


Sasa's Cyber Colours Aqua Based Pudding Foundation 




I had high hopes for this foundation. 


To be fair, it did meet most of my expectations. 
Lightweight, smooth (amazingly smooth!!), not thick at all, and good coverage. 


But it still clogged my combination skin's pores some. Not too much, but still some. So I will give it an 8/10. 


Great for dry/ combination skins though. My skin is just too oily! 


Sasa's Methode Swiss Thermal Oxygen Overnight Mask 




I love this, because it's easy to use. It's just like a moisturiser. Slap on and go. Or rather, sleep. 




The thermal beads. 


I slapped this on my face, neck, arms and armpits. 
Yes, you read right. 


Armpits are so forgotten, it's sad. Especially those who just slather on deos and forget about them, and then they turn blackish and ugly. Ugh. 


I will write a post one day on caring for your armpits. In the meantime, just remember to clean them properly end of the day, and moisturise them too! 


Back to this product. 


It didn't clog pores. It has no smell. It went on smooth and clear. You wake up the next day feeling normal, no heaviness. But there is a slight smoothing effect on the skin. 


The product brochure says two weeks of usage you'll see a BIG diff. But my gripe is... it doesn't say how often? Every night for two weeks? Or once a week? What? 


The instructions are pretty sucky. So I recommend just using it once every two days max, just in case it's two heavy on the pores. 


Ok. My beauty duty is done. My guilty conscience has been pacified. 
For another 6 months. 
JUST KIDDING. 


I promise I'll try to update more. Per previous post, I need to get my writing mojo back. 
Toodles!
