Simple Eye Makeup Remover Review

15:35 | Edit Post
First thing before I move on to the review, I want to apologise for the lack of post. I’m back to university which means I get a lot of assignments. Now that it’s slowing down a bit, I could spare some time to write this post. I will try to manage my time better so I could post here regularly because honestly, I miss posting on this blog a lot. Thank you for understanding J. Now let’s continue to the review.

I’ve been a loyal user of Maybelline Eye & Lips Makeup remover for about 3 years. I love it because it’s cheap and does its job quite nicely. But, I decided to try out some other eye makeup removers out there. First brand that I chose was Simple because I’ve been quite satisfied with their products and it’s safe for sensitive eyes (I don’t think I have sensitive eyes, but better safe than sorry right?). It also claims to be able to remove waterproof mascara, which is something that I really look for since I wear waterproof mascara almost every day. It was RM 19.90 (about $5.50) from Watsons.

First thing that I like, other than the price that is quite affordable, is it doesn’t leave your skin feel oily. It feels almost like pure water when I used it to remove my eye makeup. It also doesn’t have artificial perfume or colour, which is a good thing because I don’t want anything especially with artificial perfume near my eyes. Other thing is, it claims to have 2 vitamins in it, which are pro-vitamin B5 (listed as Panthenol) and vitamin E (listed as Tocopheryl Acetate). I don’t really know my science, but I know that those two things are good for your skin. Who doesn’t want to remove their makeup and also give some vitamins to their skin? For me, this is an additional point for this product.

Sadly, I don’t think this product actually works for removing my eye makeup. I put a few drops of this on a cotton pad, press it gently on my eyelids for a few seconds, and then I swiped it across my eyelids. Nothing other than a few flakes of my waterproof mascara came out. After a few swipes, I finally managed to get my mascara off my lashes. But still, it left me with panda eyes.


So I would say that I’m not quite satisfied with it. Here’s to continuing the journey of finding the perfect eye makeup remover!

January Favourites

21:24 | Edit Post
I am currently on my semester break, so I don’t really use that much makeup since I spend most of my time just chilling in my home and of course I don’t wear makeup in my own house. That’s why most of my January favourites aren’t makeup products, but mostly skin care and just some random stuff. So here are what I've been loving throughout January

Fringe
Just like everyone else who has too much free time, I spend most of it in front of my laptop, watching TV shows. Fringe is what I've been watching for a few weeks, and I’m telling you, I’m obsessed with this show! My day isn't complete without me watching at least one episode. This is actually not a new series since it ended in 2013.
It is a science fiction series about an FBI agent who handles not your daily, normal type of crimes, but bizarre phenomenon with the help of a (slightly) mad scientist and his son. I love everything about it, the actors are brilliant (you’ll know why I said this when you reach season 3), the storyline is intriguing with plot-twists everywhere and the characters are developing so nicely. Walter Bishop, the mad scientist, is probably my favourite character in the show. His weird sense of humour could lighten up even the darkest situation. If you love science fiction, you would want to check this one out.

Bio Oil
My skin was really dull and dry after I got back home from Saudi Arabia. I put this oil on my face overnight in hope that it will re-hydrate my face. The next morning, I swear I could really tell the difference this oil made. Not only that it has re-hydrated my face, it also brought back the glow in it at the same time. Since then, I used it every night. Sadly, after a few weeks, I had a breakout. I’m not sure what caused it, whether this product or other new skin product that I recently tried out. Now I’m waiting until my skin clears up, then I will try this out once more. I hope that it will go well this time.

Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper
If you have read my last post, you’d know how I love this product. Since I’m having a breakout recently, this product has saved my skin. It certainly has healed my spots faster. If you want to read my complete review on this product, click here.

Tammia Beauty Puff
I actually bought this only about a week ago, but it was still in January, which means it counts right? For Rp88000 (about $8) this beauty puff is amazing. It works really well in applying my BB cream and I've never felt this easy when I’m applying it on my face. It glides smoothly on my face and I really love the finished look of it. It looks really natural and skin like compared to when I use a brush or my fingers. I think I’m never going back to using brush or my fingers anymore as long as I have this on my dressing table.

The Body Shop Honeymania Body Butter
My skin is really dry lately and this product has amazingly helped it a lot. The consistency of this body butter is so thick and rich. You only need a thin layer of it to work its wonder on your skin. I wear it most of the time at night before bed, and don’t you just love the feeling when you wake up and your skin feels so soft? The scent is also so gorgeous as it’s a perfect combination of sweet and floral, helping me to relax at night. Now I know what to reach for whenever my skin acts out again.

So, what have you been enjoying lately?

Zap Your Spots in 4 Hours

21:20 | Edit Post
I rarely have acnes on my face. But once it’s there, it really enjoys its stay on my face. It actually took a few weeks to go away. I have tried a few acne cream products, but they are usually not as effective as I want them to be. However, it is not my problem anymore since my eyes caught one of new addition of Simple product when I was strolling down the Watsons aisle, and that is Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper (that’s a really long name).


It promises to zap spots in just 4 hours. At first I was skeptical about this promise since I have never thought that such incredible product exists. I still bought it anyway because it has a roll-on applicator; quite convenient for someone who doesn’t like getting their hands sticky like me. Simple products are also known to be gentle for sensitive skin. I don’t have sensitive skin but it’s nice knowing that the product is safe even for those with sensitive skin. You get 15 ml of product in one tube. It might sounds so little but you actually just have to use a small amount of it on your spots, so one tube might last for quite some time. Unfortunately, I forgot the price since I bought it a couple months ago.

I tried it on my spots and it actually went better than my expectation. The applicator glides smoothly over my acne and the cream itself is clear and absorbed easily by my skin in just a minute. It doesn’t make my acne completely gone in 4 hours, but I notice they have got smaller and the redness was gone. I apply it twice a day, morning and night, and my acnes are gone in just one to two days. This product is especially effective if you apply it to a new acne.


Overall, I am impressed by this product. Even though it doesn’t exactly make my acnes disappear in 4 hours, but at least it makes them less noticeable and heal faster.
