The Plant Base: Nature Solution Hydrating Bamboo Water & Nature Solution Skin Essence

I'm a huge fans of Korean beauty products because they are affordable and they work well on Asians' skin. There are so many Korean beauty brands out in the market and I never get tired and bored trying them out. Established brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Innisfree, Skin Food and The Face Shop never let me down, and at the same time, new brands never fail to surprise me. I have seen The Plant Base products at Watson outlet and I thought their skin care range is interesting. Further studying the products, I found that it's a skin care brand from Korea! I'm going to give them a try, I told myself. 

Bamboo water? I was immediately attracted! Despite being an irrational consumer who emphasizes on aesthetic pleasure, I love how simple and clinical-looking the product packaging is, it somehow gives me reassurance that the product is safe, natural and organic. Well, this is exactly what The Plant Base promises their customers.

The Plant Base insists only hypoallergenic and high performance products formulated with only natural plants and certified organic ingredients. They have been doing a wonderful job in exploring and utilizing the skin care benefits in natural plants.

陪我走过无数路的一双鞋

今年大扫除的最大壮举：我终于狠下心肠，把这双陪我走过无数日子的帆布鞋给丢了。

不舍得啊~

这双百搭耐穿又时尚的帆布鞋陪了我很久，没错的话是大学1st year那年买的，整整六年了！偶尔会穿它去上课，在KL乱走的时候也穿它，尤其是去Bukit Bintang那带逛街时肯定会穿上它，有follow我照片的朋友应该都见过这双帆布鞋。

后来也穿着它去了韩国和台湾。

一个人在韩国和台湾的日子，我常望着脚上的这双鞋发呆

看着它慢慢开始出现裂痕、裂缝，雪白的鞋带也渐渐变得肮脏

说到望地上这事，我不管是走路还是等待时都喜欢望着地上

不是大家想象中没自信之类的，就纯粹是个习惯

所以常常会错过擦肩的熟人

这啊，简直就是陪我上山下海的战鞋，很有革命情感的你知道吗？尤其是一个人在韩国台湾的日子，常常都觉得有这双鞋真好，好耐穿。当它真的坏得不能再穿的时候，我还硬是把它收在鞋橱里，不舍得把它给丢掉。等过了一段日子，我做好要丢弃它的心理准备后，才依依不舍地把它送进垃圾桶里。

鞋子你看，平时忙得没时间发文的我竟然抽空为你写了一篇小短文，谢谢你这些年无私的服务，我真的好喜欢你啊！

Love,

Korean Skin Care Review: Gobdigoun

Happy Chinese New Year! How's your new year holiday? I had a splendid one with a lot of food and great moments with the loved ones. During this joyous festive season, I have tried out a new range of skin care from Gobdigoun. 

Gobdigoun Skin Care Range
Water Balloon Aqua Mask, Placenta Power Mask, Crocodile Oil Hand Cream, Placenta Power Ageing Corrector Eye Cream and Placenta Power Aging Corrector Soap Bar-Wrinkle Care

Thanks to the strong and powerful Hallyu wave, Korean skin care brands are springing up like mushrooms after the rain. There are so many new brands and products being launched in the market every season but it seems like everyone is able to catch with latest trend effortlessly. Not many of us from Malaysia and Singapore has come across with Gobdigoun, so do I. This is my very first try on Gobdigoun skin care range and apparently they are gems, the hidden one. I was sent a box of Gobdigoun skin care products and I was amazed by the luxurious, opulent and elegant packaging of their products. Let's have a closer look at the packaging.

Swissvita Serum Review: Mandelic Acid Perfect Ratio Complex Serum, Micrite 3D All Use Anti-Spot Serum & Micrite 3D All Use Whitening Serum

Swissvita Serum

I learnt about Swissvita Eye Cream from Jennifer and its special aluminium sealed tube design piqued my interest towards this brand. As fas as I concern, aluminium sealed tube is a very popular packaging for medication and adhesive products due to its excellent ability in preventing product contamination. I have seen all sorts of packaging for skin care and beauty products, but not an aluminium sealed tube. So after reading Jennifer's review on Swissvita eye cream, I googled and learnt more about this brand and found that Swissvita is a brand focusing on aesthetic medicine. They sell a wide varieties of skin care products and what excites me the most is that all of their products are very reasonably priced! I tried 3 of their serums which are Mandelic Acid Perfect Ratio Complex Serum, Micrite 3D All Use Anti-Spot Serum & Micrite 3D All Use Whitening Serum respectively.

Swissvita Mandelic Acid Perfect Ratio Complex Serum
RM 110/50mL

Can you believe that a 50mL bottle of Swissvita Mandelic Acid Perfect Ratio Complex Serum is only sold at RM110? What a steal! Its RRP is RM190 but they're having special promotion now so you get to buy this Mandelic Acid at an unbelievably cheap price.

健康零食-低温风干果干

我们家是零食大军，家里永远都有一堆冰淇淋、薯片、巧克力、饼干以及糖果的库存。绝对不是在开玩笑，我妈妈还会定时添货，确保我们无时无刻都有零食解馋。（其实因为她是家里最喜欢吃零食的人所以都很主动地去买哈哈哈，但自从我开始自己赚钱之后我很对零食库存做出了很大的贡献>.<）什么乱七八糟的零食我们都吃，便宜的贵的外国的本地的，反正就是买不停吃不停就对了。唯一不曾尝试过的就是健康的零食。写到这里我自己也忍不住笑了一笑，这世上会有健康的零食吗？之前我也认为零食都没多少营养价值。是有健康的饼干啦，但健康的薯片啊巧克力啊要去哪里找？去年在Garden Ritz吃阿根廷炭烤料理时机缘巧合接触到自家手工制作的低温风干果干，觉得非常特别，所以今天就来和大家分享啦～

夹炼链带的包装设计十分方便，收纳保存都不是问题。我尝试了4种果干，左边起是苹果、granola、梨子和香蕉。这些果干都来自Unparalleled Grace，由一位妈妈亲手洗切水果并以低温风干。注意哦，是风干而不是烘干。由于低温风干并不涉及加热，因此能够保留高达96%的营养成份。低温风干的制程繁复且耗时，所以老板娘都不接急单，也不囤货，所有的果干都是在收到订单后才开始制作的。标榜着无防腐剂、无色素、无味精，这些果干不是健康的零食是什么？

Let's Pop in Some Magi Planet Popcorn!

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, how time flies! I thought I just unboxed my Christmas presents and it's CNY now? Oh noooo! I spent all my weekends in January in different shopping malls to get myself some CNY clothes and of course, CNY goodies such as cookies, decorations, flowers, bakwa (chinese dried meat) and hampers. Pineapple tarts, peanut cookies, kuih kapit, love letters and almond cookies, oh these evil cookies are calling for me! This year, we added some extraordinary CNY snacks to our table: Magi Planet Popcorn! 

I think these should be enough to serve our guests? Or not? 

Clinelle Pure Swiss Hydra Calm Serum

Today we are going to talk about serum! I always have 2 bottles of serum with me, with one serving for whitening purpose and another one for hydrating effect. I personally find serum the best way to give a boost to my tired skin, especially when I need to attend important meetings or appointments the next day. There are several criteria that I will pay attention to when choosing serum: viscosity, effectiveness and of course, affordability. I do not want my serum to be too watery or too sticky. There was a time that I tried out a watery serum because I thought such consistency will facilitate in the absorbance of the product by skin but all I got was a whole mess. It is so hard to get the right amount of serum in one pump and I really hate it when the serum accidentally drips onto my dressing table. It's so wasteful and dirty. Ever since then, I become really particular when choosing the right serum - it mustn't be watery!
