First impression #3: Lux Fine Fragrance Elixirs - Magical Spell


Ta-da!! This is my new favorite body wash. It is sexy, mysterious and seductive! Haha...This product is specially formulated by the famous "nose" - Ann Gottlieb who has collaborated with many celebrities, fragrance brands like Elizabeth Arden and Dior, retail brands like Victoria's Secret, as well as personal care brands including Dove, Caress, Rexona and Vaseline. She learnt everything about the beauty industry and fragrance from her mentor, Mrs. Estee Lauder. And later she started her own company and everything takes off from there. It is amazing knowing that affordable product like this created by her. 

Ta-da!!! 这是我我目前最爱的沐浴乳。它带给人一种性感、神秘和诱惑的感觉。 为了创造出它独一无二的香味,Lux 特地找来了著名的“鼻子” - Ann Gottlieb 来合作。 Ann 是香水界的大派人物,她曾经和很多明星和著名牌子合作过,包括 Elizabeth Arden 和 Dior,还有一些零售商如:Victoria's Secret 及 个人产品专售商Dove, Caress, Rexona  和 Vaseline。 Ann 一直都跟在身边 Mrs. Estee Lauder 学习美容界和香水界的点点滴滴。然后,她自己创造了属于自己的品牌, 成绩更是有声有色。 能有她这位大师来创造这样的廉价物真是太幸福了! 

Ann has created a perfect blend of flower with juniper oil for the body wash. The top notes are black orchid, jasmine and violet. She has also added brown sugar and vanilla to strengthen the fragrance. It also contains sandalwood and velvet musk as the base notes. This body wash is different from any other on the shelves. It's fragrance is richer and long lasting. 

在Ann 的巧手之下,诱人的花香混合了杜松油,创造出了完美的芳香。 它的前调是黑兰花、茉莉花和紫罗兰。 她还加了黑糖和香草来提高柔软的花香。而尾调是檀香和麝香绒。这沐浴乳真的是与众不同,它的香味比较浓厚,也比较长久。

The body wash is a beautiful pearly purple in color. A little bit of it can create big bubble foams. Remember I said that bubbles make your skin dry in the previous review on the Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Moisturizing Body Wash and Lotion? Well, this doesn't. So, I have no bad things to say about this product. I'm loving this everyday! 

产品的颜色是珠光紫,非常美。 而且只需用少许就可以弄出许许多多的泡沫。你们还记得我在上次Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Moisturizing Body Wash and Lotion 的点评里有提到泡沫会令皮肤干躁吗?还好,这产品不会。所以,我其实对这产品也没有什么不好的点评。我每天都在爱着它!

First impression #2: NRK All-in-one High Potency Moisturizer


Last week, I purchased a few things from Naruko.com.my. They're having buy 1 free 1 promotion for their sheet mask and some other discounts as well. Their service was really fast. I really loved it! I also got this new product that they have from NRK. It's a new concept in skincare. It's called the All-in-One High Potency Moisturizer. It basically equals to your toner, serum and moisturizer but in 1 bottle. It contains Hyaluronic Acid and cucumber extract (hydration), honey extract and shea butter (nourishment), uva ursi and litchi extract (anti-aging), elderberry flower and cactus extract (soothing). Based on their website, it has 9 benefits to the skin. 
1. Moisturizing 2. Moist-retaining 3. Soothing 4. Recuperate 
5. Restore radiant 6. Elasticity 7. Anti Aging 8. Repairing 9. Protecting. 

上个星期,我从Naruko.com.my买了一些东西。他们现在正举办着卖一送一面膜大出销,其他产品也有折扣。他们的服务很好,很快就收到产品了,真的爱死他们了!除了买面膜,我也买了这瓶新的一步搞定全效保湿素。它一瓶就等于化妆水,精华素和护肤乳。 它含有玻尿酸和小黄瓜萃取(保湿),蜂蜜萃取和乳木果油(滋养), 熊果叶和荔枝萃取(抗老),接骨木花和仙人掌茎萃取(舒缓)。根据他们的网站,这产品有九大功能。 
1. 保湿 2. 锁水 3. 舒缓 4. 滋润
5. 修护 6. 弹性 7. 抗老 8. 紧緻 9. 防护

The product is a clear, colorless liquid which is quite thick. But once it is apply to the skin and make contact with heat, the consistency becomes lighter. The texture is like toner. Basically, 3 drops will cover the whole face. And surprisingly, it's very hydrating and nourishing. My pores appear smaller after application. And I realize my skin produces less oil. When the oil gland sense that the surface of the skin is dry, it will automatically produces more oil to keep the skin moist. In other words, my skin is less oily means it's perfectly hydrated. So, this is how I know that my skin is hydrated or not. 

这保湿素是无色的液体,质体还瞒厚的。 可是,当把这保湿素擦在皮肤上,接触到皮肤的温度时,它就会变得比较稀。质感就像普通的化妆水。基本上,3滴就足够擦完整张脸。更令人出奇的是它的保湿度非常高,也很滋润。我的毛孔明显地缩小了。我也发觉皮肤少出油。当皮肤底层的油腺感到皮肤表皮很干的时候,它就会产生油质来保护皮肤。换句话来说,我的皮肤没有那么油是因为它有充分的水分。 这是我用来断定皮肤是否有充足的水分。


Love the packaging as well. It's light and spill-free. Good for travelling. I don't need to carry a whole bag full of products anymore! Oh and it's super cheap, only RM29/150ml. 
I highly recommend this to teenagers who are just starting to take up the habit of protecting your skin or who doesn't have so much money to spend on skincare and people like me who are on the go all the time

超爱它的包装的!轻便又防漏。我再也不用带着一大包的护肤品了。还有,它是超便宜的,只售RM29/150ml。
我强烈推荐给那些护肤初学者和青少年,还有想省钱的小资女们及常到处乱跑的人,就像我一样。

First impression #1: L'OREAL le blush True Match 01 Pink Marshmallow

L'oreal le blush 01 Pink Marshmallow 
I'm almost out of blusher so I got this...which I regretted. 
我的腮红就快用完了,所以就补货。。。后来就后悔了。。。

01 Pink Marshmallow
The pearly pink looks nice and youthful but the quality is just terrible. It's not pigmented, it's hard to get the color onto my cheeks, it's just terrible. I don't know why anyone would want their cheek to look shiny with the pearly pink color. Everyone wants a natural finish which means MATTE make up is the go-to.
And I think it's starting to harden as you can see from the picture above. The packaging looks cheap and the lid just gets looser everything I open and close it. I don't know if you noticed, the silver rim on the surface of the packaging falls off easily and make it even more ugly. It comes with a brush which does not help to transfer the color to my face. There's also a small mirror if you flip the product up.

它的粉红带着珠光,看起来充满青春活力,不过品质差到透!不上色,也不知道会有谁会要发亮的脸颊。 大家都走自然路线啊。。而且我也发觉它开始氧化,变硬了 (参考以上图示)。包装也很差。它的盖很容易就松了。还有从以上图片上,你可发觉到它周边的银色边已经脱落,整个包装就变得更丑了。盒子了有附送小刷子,可是对上色一点也没帮助。翻过来还有一个小小的镜子。
Comes with mirror and brush
Swatches of the blush 

Worse of all, it's not cheap! The retail price is RM42.90. Bummer!! 
L'oreal, you really disappoint me this time :(

最严重的事,它很贵! 售价是 RM 42.90。
L'oreal, 你真的令我太失望了 :(
