[Tips] Cara buat body scrub hanya dengan 5 barang dari dapur!

Salam :)


Aku suka benda-benda yang homemade ni. Tinggal rajin tak rajin jelah nak buat. Hihi. Bila datang mood dia tu, haaa habis semua benda kat dapur aku selongkar. This time aku nak bagi tips mudah nak buat scrub. Sekejap je nak buat dia. Lepas masak sambil tunggu suami nak balik kerja kejap lagi ha menyempat aku pi menggenyeh benda ni.



Bahan-bahan :

1. Used teabags (aku biasa letak teh terpakai ni kat dalam fridge) - 3 uncang
2. Gula (lagi kasar lagi bagus) - 2 sudu
3. Madu - 2 sudu
4. Minyak VCO / extra virgin olive oil / ikut suka korang la. Aku guna minyak VCO Tanamera - beberapa titik
5. Air panas - 2 sudu

Cara buat :

1. Koyakkan teabag dan keluarkan serbuk teh. Letak dalam mangkuk kecik.
2. Tambah gula dan madu.
3. Tambah air panas sedikit sahaja supaya konsistensi dia jadi bentuk paste - sesuai untuk jadi scrub. Jangan terlalu cair nanti jadi air teh pulak. HAHA. 
4. Titikkan beberapa titis minyak VCO. Sedap ouhhh nanti bau biskut kelapa + teh. Hihi
5. Kacau semua sekali.
6. Dah boleh terus guna untuk scrub badan. Lumur lepas tu sental especially dekat bahagian-bahagian pelipat tu. Lepastu mandi dan sabun macam biasa.

 Serbuk teh, gula dan madu.

Lepas campur air panas dan minyak VCO.

Best tau scrub ni! Serius dia buat kulit jadi lembut dan segar je. Tak caye? Try lah! 

Oh another tip, kalau korang jenis suka pakai minyak aromaterapi tu ha boleh la campur sekali kalau nak bau-bau yang lebih enak. Personally aku prefer bau teh + kelapa ni. Cam bau-bau asli gitu. Hehe.

Senang je kan?

Ok bai korang!

My go-to makeup

Salam :)

There are those days when I'm just too lazy to apply makeup but at the same time need to look presentable. So here are the basic stuffs that I use when those lazy days strike. Takes 5 mins and I'm ready to go!

Compact powder : HEROINE MAKE SMOOTH COVER POWDER

This is my second jar and I'm so in love with it! The powder is smooth, has light-medium coverage, good on its own or as a setting powder. It has tiny tiny nano sparkles that reflect light and makes your face look, well, a little bit more alive. The sparkles aren't obvious though, if you're wondering. On those days when I'm too lazy to apply BB cream or foundation, I'll just apply this and I'm good to go.

It also has SPF 32 PA ++ (plus point!). Mine is in shade no #2. It only has 2 shades though and obviously mine is the darker one. It might be a bit of a turn off for those with tanner skin.

Cream blush :

CANMAKE CREAM CHEEK #5 SWEET APRICOT / ETUDE HOUSE MISS TANGERINE CREAM CHOUX BLUSHER #3 MISS BERRY

A little tinge of colour on the cheeks to make me look less vampire-ish. Cream blush is always the easiest since I can just blend them with my fingers. These 2 are my faves, depending on the color that suits my outfit on that particular day. The Canmake is my perfect coral, love to use it on those sunny days. While the EH is a cool toned dolly pink, makes you blush like Barbie XD A little bit really goes a long way with these two, so you don't want to over apply them. But of course in case it does happen you can always tone them down with a puff of powder.

 Eyeliner : KOJI DOLLY WINK LIQUID EYELINER

Just the perfect basic black liquid eyeliner. The tip is fine and pen-like, easy to apply. It's jet black, doesn't smudge, waterproof but still easy to wash off. And do I even have to mention how cute the packaging is XD

Mascara : SILKYGIRL BIG EYE COLLAGEN WATERPROOF MASCARA

I used to hate using mascara because it will be such a hassle when I have to perform Wudhu. Waterproof mascaras are usually really really waterproof, like it sticks to your eyelashes and the only way to take them off is by plucking your lashes (LOL). But this particular mascara is heavenly. I can just take them off with water or wet wipes and it won't even smudge leaving your undereyes like a panda. 

The fibers make my lashes look much longer. It does make my lashes clump together though, but in a good way (I wish I can explain this better lol). Andddd, its less than RM25. Yay for good and affordable makeup! XD 

Lip tints / stain : 

IN2IT GEL TINT #GT04 MELON / NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM #SMLC02 STOCKHOLM / TONY MOLY TONY TINT

I'm not a fan of sticky lips so obviously lipglosses and lipsticks aren't for me. I much prefer lip tints and stains so these above are my faves. 

In2it Gel tint : a reddish orange color tint

NYX SMLC Stockholm : my perfect nude! Wore this on my wedding day! :D And it smells like candy

Tony Tint : berry colored tint. I wear this the most and it just doesn't look like its finishing anytime soon XD

So what's YOUR favourite go-to makeup? :)

Latest skincare product

Salam :)

Aku jenis yang tak berapa stick dekat 1 jenis product je. Sebab aku jenis yang suka try itu ini. Jenis tak memilih pun. Asalkan kulit aku tak bereaksi tu kira dah okey dah.



Sebelum ni aku pakai Clinique. First (dan mungkin last) time pakai skincare high end kot. Pakai yang ni pun pasal dapat hantaran kawen kahkahkah. Tapi aku memang suka cleanser ngan toner Clinique ni. Fresh! Sejuk je. Cuma moisturizer dia aku tak berapa berkenan sebab bagi aku too oily and sticky.

Clinique 3 steps skincare.

Ada lagi benda ni aku letak kat rumah PIL. So senang takdelah nak angkut skincare tiap kali balik sana.

Lepas tu aku tukar-tukar pencuci muka. Dari Clinique ke Neutrogena ke Safi, dan akhirnya sekarang aku pakai Aiken.


Aiken Tea Tree Oil Spot Away Facial Cleanser

Kenapa Aiken? Actually muka aku takdelah masalah jerawat sangat. Just a bit kusam.

Beli awalnya sebab dia murah (aku jenis skeptical sikit nak splurge on pencuci muka lol). Lepas dah guna, rasa best pulak. Segar je. Bau pun sedap. Siapa pernah pakai Tea Tree Oil from Body Shop? Haa sebijik bau camtu. Paling syok, walaupun kulit aku sensitif tapi dia tak mengeringkan langsung. And so far pakai memang takde break outs! Yay!

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Sebenarnya toner pakai apa-apa pun boleh. Tapi aku tak suka yang terlalu banyak chemical.

So yang ni ok je. Botol pun sempoi je kan. Macam botol ubat pun ada ahahah. Dah berbotol jugak aku pakai. Cuma dia takde fungsi "membersihkan" macam Clinique la.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

Taktau nak pakai moisturizer apa. Akhirnya aku opt moisturizer yang untuk kulit sensitif. Dah berbulan pakai tak perabih-perabih pun. Sebab pakai sikit je dah cukup untuk seluruh muka. Kadang siap sapu kat leher ngan tangan sebab berlebih HAHA. Best, tak rasa berminyak sangat dan takde bau. Cuma macam boring la takde apa yang menarik HAHA.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock

Ni pun sama guna dah berbulan-bulan tak abis lagi. Sebenarnya tak sabar nak habiskan sebab nak balik kepada sunblock Sunplay Skin Aqua. Yang ni macam a bit pedih sikit kadang-kadang bila pakai. So cam tak berapa suka. Bau dia pun macam agak kuat. Prefer Sunplay lagi sebab lebih mild. Cuma Sunplay punya SPF tak banyak macam ni la.

My Beauty Diary Sheet Masks

Ini pulak bila rajin sekali sekala. Masks from My Beauty Diary (from Taiwan).

Suka sebab rasanya ni je the only sheet masks yang betul-betul nampak effects. Walaupun tak lasting, tapi at least takde lah rasa sia-sia kau tepek setengah jam kan. Memang akan nampak radiant sikit lepas pakai mask ni. Tak caye cuba try test tengok hehe.

Tu je kot skincare yang aku guna sekarang. Tak rajin macam zaman anak dara dulu lah. HAHA

Tetiba rindu nak guna skincare Etude House. Best ohh. Tapi mahal :(

Ok dah bai korangg

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (Original) and Revlon Colorstay Foundation Comparison

Salam.

Recently I finished up my Revlon Colorstay and thought that I might as well try a different foundation. I read a lot of raves saying that Healthy Mix is suitable for dry skin which I am now having, so I went and grab this foundie.

Here's my comparison of the two.

Packaging

Bourjois Healthy Mix comes in a pump, while Revlon Colorstay doesn't have one so obviously I prefer BHM on this one. With a huge 'mouth', its very easy to spill a lot more product than you need. Both come in sturdy glass bottle.

Shade

I'm not sure about the range of shades of both because I bought Revlon Colorstay in Indonesia and when I bought BHM I was in a hurry and didn't take time to look at other shades. I usually search for reviews online before buying a foundation so that I won't make a mistake picking shades that suit my skintone. I have Revlon Colorstay in Sand Beige (I don't think this shade is available in Malaysia) and BHM in shade 53 Light Beige. Revlon is a tad lighter for me and BHM is the perfect shade for my NC25-30 skin. Both are suitable for my skin.

In the packaging, Revlon looks a bit more yellow than BHM, but upon application I believe Revlon is actually more pink and BHM is more yellow.

Consistency

Revlon Colorstay is a bit thicker and hence harder to blend than BHM. I like to apply both using damp sponge.


Coverage

Revlon Colorstay is medium to full, while BHM is more light to medium. Both are buildable.


Finishing

Revlon Colorstay finishes matte, does not accentuate pores but can definitely cling to dry patches so make sure you exfoliate before using. Do not apply too much since people can definitely tell that you are wearing makeup due to the heavy consistency. But it really is photo perfect and will look flawless on photos.

BHM is very lightweight, feels like a second skin, and finishes dewy. Not the sparkly shimmery glow but the natural healthy glow. I didn't have dry patches as at now so I'm not really sure if it clings to dry patch and flaky skin.

As you can see RC is more matte and BHM is more dewy.

Lasting

Revlon Colorstay definitely stays all day, while I believe BHM stays for about 5 hours in this humid country. But I don't really mind to retouch up.

I even used Revlon Colorstay for my wedding makeup :)


Verdict

I really love both, so in my opinion one should have both in their stash. I would definitely suggest Revlon Colorstay for people with oily skin and BHM for dry skin type. Also, for special occasion where you need to have makeup on for longer hours, I would suggest Revlon Colorstay whilst BHM is more suitable for everyday makeup because of its lightweight feeling and natural finish.

That's it for now. Toodles!
