My mother bought this from sasa.com. She had extremely sensitive skin at that time and has discomfort after using this. Therefore, she gave this product to me. I didn't have any allergic reaction to it.

It moisturizes my skin a little though I don't think it is moisturizing enough. It isn't sticky when I apply a little. But because of the large opening, I don't have good control over the amount I pour out. Most of the time I end up pouring out too much and my face becomes quite sticky. It can be a bit greasy too.

It is not bad for a moisturizer although I would like a moisturizer that can moisturize more and hopefully prevent acne etc.

☼ light moisturizing
☼ scentless
☀ hard to control amount used due to the packaging
☀ can be quite sticky and greasy when too much is used

I would not repurchase this due to the packaging and it isn't moisturizing enough for me

Review : Kracie Purenavi Makeup Cleansing Oil

Hello!

Product Type	Cleansing Oil
Price	RM 20 below (around 15 16)
Size	150 ml

Description (taken from lotuspalace)

Purenavi is a very mild facial cleansing range formulated without fragrance, colorings and parabens. The products are allergy-tested and generally made to reduce the risk of any skin irritations. The products contain collagen and extracts of lemon and grapefruit.

Colour	Clear
Texture	Oily
Smell	horrible burnt plastic / chemical smell
Squeekiness	low

I use two pumps to massage and clean my face. Two is sufficient. Like all cleansing oil, start with a dry face and emulsify it after massaging by adding some water. Finally, I rinse my face till there are no residue left and continue with my facial wash.

I bought this with the target of getting the cheapest product. I used it for once and I left it in the corner. That time I wasn't aware of double cleansing yet, which was why I disliked the oily feeling. After some time I took it out to try again and I think it wasn't that bad apart from the smell. It was super duper horrible and smelly!!! But the cleansing was not bad. My eyes did not sting that much at first, merely getting blurry. However after a while it sting quite a lot. All is well after rinsing my eyes.

I have another review of the Shiseido Senka Cleansing Oil :)

☼ feels clean
☼ no tight feeling
☼ cheap
☀ overwhelming horrible smell
☀ clouds vision, stings after awhile

I would not repurchase this due to the smell regardless of the price :( I don't think it is available now though :/

I bought this from Watson's. It was on sale and I bought it. However, I really really regret falling for promotions tactics! 

I used it for a couple of days and pimples started popping up all over my face!  I immediately stopped using it and slooooowwwlllyyyy, it got better. But I was left with scars! Totally regret buying this. I deserted this tube of cleanser and there it sat, lonely beside the sink. It feels very clean though, squeaky clean. A bit tight.

☼ cheap

☀ leaves a tight feeling

☀ made me break out!!!

Review : Etude House Wonder Pore Brush

Hello!

Product Type	Facial Brush
Price	RM29.90 (local Etude House store) USD 3.80 (koreadepart)

Directions (taken from koreadepart)

1. Wet brush then place facial foam on palm and lather bubbles.

2. Make circular motion on face gently and then rinse off.

How to keep
1. Rinse off several times until there are no bubbles, let the wool face upward.
2. Place the grip on top of cap and dry, close the cap.

Materials (taken from koreadepart)

PBT, PC

This is my first facial brush. I didn't want to spend too much on the Olay Pro-X Cleansing System (RM100++) in case I didn't like it. And I certainly cannot afford Clarisonic T.T So I bought this brush from koreadepart for only USD 3.80 which is roughly RM 12. I wouldn't mind spending RM 12 to try this out ;)

Although the instructions say to use the brush to lather up foam, I personally think that only works for foam cleansers (those cleansers that come out of a pump already as dense bubbles, not the type that you need to lather yourself). When I follow the instructions with normal foaming cleansers, I couldn't create any bubbles no matter how much I tried to lather it. 

Therefore, I lather the cleanser with my hands and apply bubbles onto my face. Then, I use the brush on my face in circular motion for about 1 minute - approximately 12 seconds for each part of my face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin). After that, I place the brush under running water to clean it and place it on its cap/stand. Finally, I rinse my face with water at least 7 times. One thing I noticed is that no matter how much foam I lather, eventually it will just trickle down the brush (see pic above).

After using it for around 1 week, I felt that the brush was a bit too harsh for my skin. It made my skin super squeaky clean with my moderate squeakiness cleanser. I think my skin was also a bit dry after using this. I also had more tiny pimples.

All in all, I do not recommend getting this brush. However, if you would like to try out a facial brush for the first time, you could get this as it is cheap online. If you think you have thick skin, you can try this too, haha! :D
☼ cute packaging
☀ breaks me out
☀ too harsh
☀ drying

Will definitely never repurchase this!

I use this product after using cleansing oil at night or as the first step in the morning. I lather a bit of this cleanser with water to produce bubbles and apply in circular motion onto wet face. Finally, I rinse off the cleanser with water at least 7 times.

I like this cleanser. It makes my skin clean without the tight feeling. My skin does not feel dry. It doesn't really have any particular scent. It foams well even when I only use a little bit to lather with water. I think a tube can last pretty long. I couldn't see much of a difference while using this product, but I didn't break out, which is a great thing itself! :D It also wasn't expensive when ordered from sasa.com.

☼ clean without the tight feeling
☼ skin isn't dried out
☼ a little lathers up well
☼ lasts pretty long
☼ cheap
☼ no break outs! ❤❤❤
☀ no other effects on my skin

I would repurchase this till I can find one that doesn't break me out and provides other functions :)

Review : Shiseido Senka Perfect Watery Oil

Hello!

Product Type	Cleansing Oil
Price	RM 49.90
Size	230 ml

Description

Contains "Moist Cleansing", a cleansing ingredient made from moisturizers. Gently and thoroughly cleanse with Watery Oil.

• Gently and easily remove dirt deep within pores and hard to remove mascara without any scrubbing
• Can be used in the bath with wet hands or face
• Easy to rinse off with no oily residue
• Moist skin afterwards, as it protects skin's natural oil

Contains sebum remover and beauty essence (moisturizer)

Directions

1. Press pump 4 times and blend onto face with makeup

2. Rinse completely with cold or lukewarm water

3. If hands or face is too wet, wipe excess water before use

Ingredients

Mineral Oil, PEG-8 Glyceryl Isostearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Isododecane, Water, Isostrearic Acid, Ethylhexyl palmitate, Glycerin, Alcohol, Fragrance, BHT, Phytosteryl / Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Tocopherol

Colour	Clear
Texture	Oily
Smell	light fruity (?) smell
Squeekiness	low

I only use 2 pumps although the instructions say to use 4. I think 2 is enough for my face. After applying and massaging my dry face, I moisten my hand with water and massage my face in circular motion to emulsify the oil. Then I rinse my face with water for around 10 times. After no residue is left, I continue with my facial wash. I only use this at night.

I got this as a birthday present from my sisters :D I think it does a good job for double cleansing. My skin does not feel oily or tight, just clean and moist after using this. I do not break out too. I have used this to remove make up and it does it's job pretty well (I use point makeup remover for eyes and lips). When the product enters my eyes, my vision clouds but there is no pain. After a minute or two, my eyes tear up and begin to sting. All is well after I rinse my eyes. I have been using it for 3 months and there is a bit more than half left. So I think I can safely say that a bottle can last for at least half a year (with 2 pumps each use).

My sister has been using another brand of cleansing oil with half a bottle left after 9 months of usage! Check out her review on it here!

☼ feels clean, moist
☼ no oily or tight feeling
☼ no break out
☼ removes face makeup well
☀ not long-lasting
☀ pricey
☀ clouds vision, stings after awhile

I would not repurchase this due to the price and it doesn't last long :(

Green Grass

They lay on the patch of green grass in a small clearing of a forest near their house, looking into each others’ wrinkly eyes lovingly. They were reminiscing on their past, how they met, how they fell in love and got married despite the number of obstacles they have faced. They laughed and frowned at the memories.

Suddenly, they heard a rustle in the bushes. They looked around in alarm looking for the source of sound. Then, they saw a pair of brown eyes peeking through a bush. They cautiously approached the pair of eyes.

“Hello, who is there? Come out,” beckoned Adrian.

The pair of brown eyes blinked a few times before slowly emerging from behind the bush.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but when I heard both of you talking about your story, I was simply enthralled. Your story is amazing, like right out of a romantic movie. I couldn’t help but feel curious and that tempted me to continue eavesdropping. I am so terribly sorry. I will not say a word to others about your story. I promise,” said Samantha.

“It’s okay, dear. Do you want to sit with us and listen to our story? We would be thrilled to be in the company of a young lady like you,” Julia invited with a warm smile on her lips and Adrian nodded encouragingly.  

Samantha thanked them and introduced herself. After exchanging pleasantries, the old couple continued their story.

Just then, they heard another rustle from a different direction. Samantha joked that it could be another person like her who was interested in the couple’s story. The couple beckoned the stranger to come forward and join them. It was a young man. Like Samantha, James apologized before joining them. The couple continued their story.

Suddenly, Samantha’s nose and mouth was covered with a piece damp cloth from behind. She did not see who it was. The cloth was dampened with chloroform. Samantha fainted.

She woke up light headed tied up to a chair. She looked around. It looked like an abandoned small house. The furniture is old and the floor was dusty. She tried calling out for help, calling for the old couple, hoping that someone might hear her.

The door creaked open, in walked the couple. Samantha was overjoyed and quickly asked them to help untie her. Alas, her joy was short-lived. James then walked in behind the couple holding a piece of damp cloth.

Samantha tried to process what she had seen; trying to understand what was going on. She panicked. 

“Adrian, Julia. What’s going on? Why am I tied here?” questioned Samantha, hoping to prove she was wrong.

The old couple smirked and slowly laughed louder and louder. Samantha was right. Her worst fear was confirmed.

“Why are you doing this? Do you know James beforehand? Why did you capture me?” asked Samantha as tears streamed down her face, afraid of what would happen to her.

The couple simply continued laughing as James approached her. Touching her face and hair and looking at her body, he said “Her skin is pretty good. She has beautiful hair too. As well as a good figure although she isn’t very tall.”

Samantha demanded to know what was happening, all the while struggling to free herself from the ropes used to tie her.

“Sammy, stop wasting your energy trying to free yourself. It’s no use,” Adrian said.

“Why are you doing this? How could you act this way? Aren’t you a kind person?” Samantha asked.

“Young lady, when did I ever say that I am kind?” Adrian asked with a glint in his eye.

“But your story you told me just now. Your love story…” replied Samantha.

“You believed us? Old man, we are great actors! We should go film a movie!” teased Julia.

“Actually our names aren’t Adrian and Julia. We made that up,” the old man cackled with glee.

“No, No! Let me go! You wretched old man! Let me go! What are you going to do with me?! Let me go!”

“Oh, honey. Haven’t you ever heard of human trafficking?” the old woman hinted.

Samantha was horrified. She struggled even harder. She shouted and yelled as loud as she could. Then, James covered her nose and mouth with another chloroform dampened cloth.

The three kidnappers laughed among themselves loudly.
