At home, my dear Aunt Jenny (dad's younger sister) has recently passed away in Ipoh. It was very unexpected and her demise is much cried. Aunt Jenny was a very beautiful lady when she was young. In the early 1970s, guys in Mercedes will come to woo her at m y grandma's home ^^ I think it was Auntie Jenny that introduced me into nail polish and red lipsticks. I'll always remember her fondly..
Well, onwards to more happier stuffs, which is my beauty reviews!
YAY My Cellnique parcel is here!
Huge box with 4 items, their best selling ones! From left:
- Advanced Bio Renewal Masque (Mask) RM 159 for 50g
- Soothing & Hydrating Lotion (Toner) RM 79 for 200ml
- Amino Collagen C Intense Set (Serum) RM 299 for 2x10ml
- Skin Action Sebum Gel RM 159 for 30ml
Total estimated RM 700 worth of skincare! Gals, this is a splurge package. My advice, if budget is a problem, try their products one at a time. Go try out their facial and spa sessions, and if you really like the products and works for you, then go to Sasa and get those stamps!
What is Cellnique? Founded by Mr Chew (electric engineering background!), launched around 1997 in Malaysia and later in Singapore. Cellnique is very agressively active in the beauty blogger world because of their generousity in giving out samples for us to try before we buy. So, there was alot of good reviews out there, let's check out mine.
For the last 6 months I have been using these brands of toner.
From left, always ^^v
- Skin Conditioner by Naris Up for 360ml - Huge bargain for this toner, because it is huge and cheap, for a toner that claims to have collagen. I wish this is a great toner for me to keep, but it isn't. My moituriser does not, I repeat DOES NOT absorb into my skin after this toner. Totally weird and annoying, because I feel like it is wasting my moituriser, and acting as a barrier. So, not a good toner.
- Acmedica by Naris Up for 150ml - Nyeh, did not stop any pimple from popping up eventhough it said this is a medicated toner. But at least it did allow my moisturiser to melt into my skin hehe
- Freshel Lotion by Kanebo for 200ml - Best toner for me this year, as I've used 2 bottles already! It can also cleanse off excess makeup and oil on my face, so its NOT just water.
What I like: The spray cap. Most toner you need to pour it out. With this, I just spray it straight on my clean face (with eyes close of course ^_*). It smell of herbal because of the 14 plant extract ingredients. No, I did not have any allergic reaction to it. Does my moisturiser sink into my face after toning? Yes, indeed. Basically, that is what I want most with my toner.
This is my own test on good toner & good moisturiser. Far left, is my clean matte face after toning with Cellnique and moisturise with Freshel Milk Lotion. Faces going right side, are every hour after that. No longer matte face, but oilier and shinier (from 8pm to 11pm). Well, could be any reason, that my moisturiser is not hydrating enough or those 2 doesn't work well together, or something else. But in all honesty, I just think my face is super oily >.<
Well, comprehensive enough review? That's why I got to separate these into few parts.
