Hi Everyone..:) It's finally the last day of Chinese New Year..Time sure passes quickly without notice...:) Anyway today i'm going to blog a little about a special food tasting session with other bloggers which I join during early January this year.

Hishop Review: Beauty Talk 3D Refining Day Cream 30ml

2015-01-13T10:48:00.000+08:00

Woohoo..It's a brand new year..2015 !! What goals do you all set for this year? For me..hmm..em..let me see..I just want to be more beautiful each year and stay healthy..:) Haha..not too greedy right..simple goals..

So..To achieve my first goal..." To be more beautiful "..I guess Beauty Talk 3D Refining Day Cream do the work for me...Thank you Hishop for giving me the chance to try out Beauty Talk 3D Refining Day Cream and it's actually come at the right time where my make up base is almost finish up..:)

Beauty Talk 3D Refining Day Cream has win numerous award from beauty magazines such as Nu You. I always wanted to try out one myself. This cream not only act as a suncare protection but also act as a good make up base with antioxidant, whitening and moisturizing function.

Thank to its powerful anti aging ingredients (peptides), Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 and Tripeptides, it enable the cream to deeply penetrate into the skin dermis layer and smoothes fine lines and at the same time moisturizing and whiten the skin. The various vitamin inside the cream helps to restrict melanin formation ( I definitely want to AVOID THIS ) and increase the skin ability to guide against sun's damaging rays.

Why the cream is name as 3D ? With the natural pearl powder and 3D Technology, it attract external light into the dermis layer of the skin enhancing skin radiance and smoothness. It offer natural glow effect on our skin.

I like how they design the bottle in nozzle form as it's more hygienic and the amount from one pump is well control.

The cream is in natural brown color which provide a light coverage for acne marks :) But i feel that the texture is quite watery. When apply to the skin, i can evenly distribute it across my skin with my finger and its seems to be easily absorb into my skin. My skin doesn't feel oily upon application.

How to Use

Dispense an appropriate amount onto a sponge or finger. Apply evenly onto skin, concentrating particularly on the T-Zone area.

This is me before application. Please ignore all the acne pitted scar (T.T) Trying my best to get rid of it..You can notice some previous acne reddish mark.

Although you won't see much differences from the picture, but after using it for 1 week, the post acne mark has reduce a bit. During the 1 week application, it doesn't cause any new acne outbreak or cause my skin to be too oily..Which is super good for me because my skin is sensitive and usually will have outbreak if the skin care is not suitable for me.

The Twelve Cup Cafe, Beach Street Penang

2014-11-28T16:13:00.000+08:00

I'm always been a fan of Mille Crepe cake and just recently I've a gathering at The Twelve Cup Cafe, Beach Street Penang. This is my first visit to the cafe although they have been opening for quite some time.

Well, here's a little info about the cafe. Twelve Cup Cafe offer wide selection of food from Cake to Vegetarian diet food. I would say their main point is their Mille Crepe cake. Upon entering the cafe, the first thing i notice is their wide variety of Mille Crepe cake.

My friend and I order different type of Crepe Cake to try out. I was indecisive between Hokaido Milk and Raspberry Crepe Cake. In the end, I order Raspberry and my friend order Matcha Mille Crepe Cake. Each of the cake cost RM 10.50

We have Smurfette and Smurf drawn on the plate :)

I like the texture of the cake. It's moist and not too creamy and the most important is that each taste of the cake leave a very delightful and content feeling..The cake goes well with the coffee we order. However if they can make the coffee slight hotter, it would be much better. When we have our coffee, it's only slightly hot and after a few minute chatting with my friend, the coffee has already cold down and it feel like taking cold coffee.

Anyway, overall I still like the environment of the cafe and the Mille Crepe cake is definitely worth trying. The staffs working there are very friendly as well. Here's the rating for the Cafe:

Food Taste : ♥♥♥♥♥ out of 6

Pricing :♥♥♥♥ of out 6

Service: ♥♥♥♥♥♥ out of 6

Here's the location of the cafe if you would like to try it out yourself :)

Address: 12, The WhiteAways Arcade, Beach Street, 10300 George Town, Malaysia

Opening Time : Mon - Sun:

10:00 am - 12:00 am

But~~There's always a but..:) Even I don't have so much time to go thru all the skin care routine..I will try my best to stick to the basic which are cleaning ~ toning ~ mask ~ serum. Last weekend..I manage to find myself some time to relax and apply a mask as my husband come back from business trip which give me just a little time to pamper myself.

First of all, i would like to Thank you Hishop for this great giveaway and provide me the opportunity to try out Bidanpo Mediental Botanic Garden Broccoli Mask and review on it. It always come at the right time when i need an emergency boost for my skin.:) You must be thinking how on earth a broccoli can use as a mask to help our skin??

Well let me explain to you :) With the fresh broccoli and Centella Asiatica extract on the mask, it helps to provide soothing and sedativescare to our skin which makes our skin comfortable and clean.

With the natural cellulose tencel sheet, it's fixed easily on my skin. The good thing about this mask is that it's not too watery. When i take out the mask from the package, the essence on the mask doesn't drip down.

Here's the step by step on how to use the mask:

1. Take the mask out from it's package. Unfold and place the mask on your face.

2. You can leave the mask on the face for 15~20 minutes.
3. After that, remove the mask and gently pat your skin to let the essence fully absorbed in.

After using, my face feel refresh and moisture. It doesn't leave any sticky feeling on my face. Overall although it doesn't show too much different on my face but from the skin analyzer meter, you can see that the water level has increased :)

From the skin analyzer, you can see that my skin is softer and the water level increase :)

Hishop Review: Deoproce Snail Mask

2014-09-05T11:47:00.000+08:00

I must admit that i'm quite a lazy person when it get to taking care of my skin as I always tends to skip doing mask...with excuses like " too tired" , " I'll do it next day" which eventually lead to another next day and on going..LoL..Anyway, today I'll like to do a mask review on Deoproce Snail Mask..Thank you Hishop for this great giveaway and provide me the opportunity to try out this mask and review on it.

I know the first thing that come into your mind is the word "Snail". When we talk about snail, it's always slimy and yuckz :) but never did we know that they can bring so much benefits like helping in skin cell regeneration, repair and promote skin elasticity and smoothness.

The facial sheet mask help to shield our skin surface with a protective layer which increases our skin temperature. This layer helps to prevents the moisture from escaping and at the same time revive, nourish, soften and oxygenated our skin. The concentrated extract on the cotton mask have a very soft herbal aromatherapy scent which provide me with relaxing experience especially when I'm tired after whole day looking after my son and dealing with his tantrums (=.=). Please ignore my aunty look..

How to apply the Mask:

· Cleanse your face with cleansing foam and rinse your face with lot of warm water. Even if you don't put on makeup, your facial skin is still exposed to the dirt and pollution in the air which will only clog our pores.

· Good idea to open the pores so that when you apply the facial mask, all the nutrition is immediately absorbed into your face.

· Open by peeling the sachet and apply a face mask sheet by pressing it across the face, avoiding sensitive areas such as eyes and mouth.

· Wait for of 15 to 20 minutes for the nutrition to absorb in the skin.

· Remove and gently patting or massage your face with the remaining essence to enhance deeper absorption into your skin.

After applying, my face feel refreshing and moisture. Before applying the mask, my skin moisture is only 36%. After the mask, my skin moisture increase by 4%.

Baby Boba Wrap Review

2014-09-04T10:45:00.006+08:00

Hello Everyone..for those parent out there, today i would like to introduce to you a great baby wrap which help me solve a lot of problems. It's Baby Boba Wrap.

Getting into parenting world tough..and some of us even give up going out during the weekend as it's really very difficult when your baby want hug hug most of the time =.= Ever since Little J reach 3 month, his weight increase a lot. Compare to when he is newborn, now he weight 6.5 kg. The worst part is he want people to hold him most of the time (=.=). When we bring him out to do some grocery shopping, we try to put him inside the stroller and the longest time he can stay inside the stroller is 10 min, after that he will start to call for people to hold him. My husband and I will take turn hold him and we can't really do any shopping.

This is when i start to search high and low for baby carrier so that we can carry him around and at the same time do our grocery shopping. This is when i found Baby Boba Wrap. I bought this wrap from Baby Paradise at RM139. Previously i bought a ring sling but Little J just don't like to be inside the ring sling and keep pushing when I have him in cradle and kangaroo style. But with Boba Wrap, he just lie there quietly and enjoy looking around.

What's good about this wrap? Well i tell you, the best part of this wrap is that you can do your baby wearing hands free. The Baby Boba Wrap is made from unique fabric blend which is very comfortable for me and my baby. With this wrap, i can easily calm and sooth my baby when he is crying and he can easily fall asleep in the wrap as he can feel our warmth, movement and heartbeat. Mother's heartbeat is the best when come to soothing baby. :) The baby wrap can support baby weight from 7 to 35 lbs while evenly distributing the weight of my baby. My husband say we can even use this wrap as scarf. :) The simple design of the wrap make it buckles and button free.

This is me ( aunty look) doing my grocery shopping while Little J sleeping soundly inside the wrap until mouth open wide..LOL.

As i just started using the wrap, i'm trying to figure a way for me the breastfeed my baby inside this wrap. Will update you guy if I successful breastfeed him in wrap :) .

Kose Seikisho Mask White Review

2014-07-17T12:29:00.001+08:00

Hello everyone ~ I bet everyone of you know about this brand Kose. Kose is one of the well known Japanese Skincare brand. Most of the asian main skin concern is whitening and to have youthful skin. Kose Seikisho target is to provide a newborn white skin to its user.

Well today i'm going to review on one of its product, Kose Seikisho Mask White. This is one of the popular peel-off mask in the market.

The functions of this mask is to work as brightener,exfoliate our skin,remove blackheads and unclog pores. With it's nano black powder, the mask can be well disperse over our skin.

The direction of using this mask is apply thick and even coat onto our clean face but please avoid hairline, eye area and lip area. After apply, wait for 20 minutes or until it's completely dry. Once it's dry, slow peel off the mask.

My Verdict : After the mask dry off, i have difficulty peeling off the mask and the left over of the mask on the face is difficult to wash off. I need rub quite some time for it to wash off. Apart from that, when apply the mask, it's best to stay at air con room as when i apply the mask without staying inside air con room, i tend to sweat and this make the mask watery and doesn't dry off. To apply evenly onto the face, I need to apply quite a lot of the mask. Due to the size of the tube, I think the mask would use up very quickly and it's quite pricey. The price for one tube is RM 85. However after peeling, i notice it manage to remove some of the whitehead and dead skin.

My skin appear smoother. Overall I would give 3 out of 5 for this product :)

Baby Organix Nature's First Aid Cream Review

2014-07-03T12:37:00.004+08:00

Hi Everyone..How are you ? It's been ages since my last post.I've just delivered my Little one last month :) and finished my 30-days confinement this week. Can you imagine without bathing and washing hair for 30 days..OMG..I can only describe it as "Hell" as all I know is that I keep on sweating and the weather is hot even I stay inside my room with the air conditional on.

Anyway, as comeback post, I would like to do a simple review post on a cream, Baby Organix Nature's First Aid Cream, which I find it's done a really good job in soothing my baby skin. As a mother, we always want to give the best to our baby and make sure he/she is in good care.

My little one face started to get rough on both his cheek on his third week. We thought the skin problem was due to the milk residue that left on his cheek after breastfeeding. So after every breastfeeding, I would ensure all the milk on his face are clean up but it didn't show any improvement and its seems to get flaky on his cheek and show slightly redness.

Then one of my friend introduce me Baby Organix Nature's First Aid Cream. I bought this cream at RM 32.90 from an organic shop near my house. Been applying it three times a day since i bought it and see great improvement on my Little one skin after one day. The roughness on his skin is greatly reduce and appear more smoother. The texture of the cream is not so creamy so your baby won't feel uncomfortable after applying.

According to the leaflet on the cream, this cream can helps to treat and control almost all skin related ailments and injuries. It is purely natural and contain no harmful ingredient and steroid free. The cream is specially formulated with organic Calendula Oil, a plant-base antioxidant that can protect skin cells from being damaged, heal wounds and soothes the skins.

I would highly recommend this cream if you are looking for a suitable cream to treat your baby rashes/eczema ;)

Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Triple Milled Soap Review

2014-05-20T13:31:00.002+08:00

Every since my pregnancy in first trimester, my nose started sensitive towards different types of scent from soaps and perfume. So during my trimester, i change almost all my shampoo and body soap. This is when i started to notice and started using Crabtree & Evelyn soap. While screening thru the shelf, The Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater triple milled soap caught my attention as the scent is very natural.

Even just from the packaging, you can slightly smell the light rose scent.

Product Desription: The soap is enriched with moisturizing blend of Rosa Centifolia water, glycerine, Rose Moschata Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Wheat Germ Oil. These fragrant triple milled soap sumptuously soften and lightly scented our skin.

When you lathered the soap on your body, it create a very creamy lather foam and super nice rose smell ♥♥ The fragrant is not too overwhelming but enough to make you feel relax after a long day. The scent can last thru whole night if you take bath before sleep. It doesn't dry out your skin but help to keep my skin moisturized.

One box contain three soap bar. Each bar i think can last for about half to one month depend on how frequent you use it. I bought it for RM 68 at Crabtree & Evelyn shop at Gurney Plaza. Overall I love these soap bar and will consider repurchase it again once finish as the pricing might be slightly pricey for me :)

Maybelline False Lash Volume Express Review + Giveaway

2014-04-18T14:34:00.000+08:00

Hello Everyone..Happy Easter Day :)

Today i'm going to do a simple review on Maybelline False Lash Volume Express and I'll be having a mini giveaway..That right..:) you heard me right..After so long, I finally organize a small giveaway..1 X Maybelline False Lash Volume Express..:)

I bought this mascara one month ago and only manage to try it out just recently. The reason most of us buy mascara is to have longer lashes so that our eyes look more bigger and charming and of course the lashes have to appear natural :) Usually when I look at the mascara advertisement, the first question that come into my mind is, " Did they wear false lashes as it looks so natural on the lashes for a mascara.. "

So here I am again, buying another mascara ==".

Here's the brush inside the mascara. The mascara contain tiny fiber to help to lengthen our lashes. The tip of the brush is slight smaller than the middle and i usually use the tip of the brush to apply my lower lashes..

This is me before applying the mascara.

After applying Maybelline False Lash Volume Express. The lashes appear thicker, longer and more visible. It doesn't appear to chunky. Before applying, you still need to curl your lashes with eye curler. Well, I wouldn't say it appear very natural but it still help to lengthen and slightly thicken my lashes. Overall i wasn't disappointed with the function of the mascara and would give 3 star out of 5 :)

So here's come the Giveaway......Be sure to fill out all the entry points to be eligible for the giveaway :) and Please take note that this giveaway is for those staying in Malaysia only.

Till then

XOXO

Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact Liquid Eyeliner Review

2014-04-17T15:05:00.003+08:00

Hello Everyone...Today i'm going to do a simple review on Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact Liquid Eyeliner. Actually i got this eyeliner since last year from Modbox but didn't manage to use it until just recently. I'm a fan of liquid eyeliner and most of the time i couldn't find the type I want so i just keep buying and experiment. Inside my drawer I have quite a few liquid eyeliner. =="

But I could say, the moment i use this eyeliner, I just fall in love with it. I love the density of the black it gives out and it's easy to apply. I like the thin brush because it helps me to easily create my winged eyeliner.

Apart from that, it's waterproof. But usually i would apply Urban Decay eye primer before applying the eyeliner just to make sure its really smudge proof as I have really oily eyelid. The eyeliner can last thru whole day without touch up even after i wash my face in the afternoon. The only thing that you need to be careful is after applying the eyeliner, you might need to wait a few second for it to dry.

This is me after applying the eyeliner. Overall , I would highly recommend this eyeliner if you are looking for darker density and waterproof eyeliner and unless you are use to apply liquid eyeliner as if you are new to makeup, you might need to start off with pencil first before going for liquid as you might have hard time to control the brush. :)

Hope you all have a nice day. Till then :)

My Haircut at Hair Impression Salon & Academy Penang Times Square

2014-02-25T11:29:00.000+08:00

Hello..Good day to everyone :)

Today I would like to share with you all one of my favourite hair Salon in Penang. This is not a sponsored post. It's purely based on my experience and I would like to share this great place with my readers.

I moved to Penang four years ago and have been switching hair salon throughout these four years. I couldn't find a hair salon that have good service and provide good haircut until I found Hair Impression Salon at Penang Times Square. I started going to this salon one year ago and I just can't wait to share with you how good is the service at this salon. It become one of my husband favourite hair salon as well.

My husband and I went there for a haircut last weekend. I went there to trim my hair and get rid of my split end. I'm trying to keep my hair so that during my confinement, I can just tie up my hair into a bun without them getting in to my face as you know during confinement we are not allow to wash our hair for one month. I've natural curly hair. So if I cut my hair short and I can't tie it, I can't imagine how I going to live thru the one month.

Anyway, the reason I'm stick to this salon is that, the price are not so expensive. For my haircut, it was RM 40 and my husband is just RM 30. Usually other salon would charge us two price , one price for the haircut and if we want hair wash at the chair, they will charge separate price for the hair wash. This price include full service of hair wash and head massage at the chair. The head massage done by the hairstylist is really nice. I fall asleep twice during my last haircut. After hair wash at the chair, during the wash off, they also done a little massage. How good is that.. you tell me..^^

I always stick to senior stylist and I choose Nick as my hair stylist. Although most of the time I maintain my hairstyle and just went there for a trim, after the haircut, Nick will always try to blow or style different hairstyle for me after my haircut. My hair is natural curly and thick, so usually after the wash, the curl would be really stubborn to be straighten up unless you use hair straightener or really blow dry it. They even help me to straighten my hair without extra charges !! At last week haircut, Nick help me to volume up my hair after the haircut by blowing a natural curl hairstyle for me. I like the hairstyle very much.

Here's a few selfie I take with my hubby after the haircut..:)

Overall, I'm very happy with the service at Hair Impression and would highly recommend this hair salon if you are looking for a nice hair salon in Penang :)

Hope you all have a nice day ..till then..

My Lunch Order with FoodPanda

2014-02-24T09:31:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone ...:) Chinese New Year and Valentine has just pass...Hope you have a nice holiday and Valentine :)

This year Valentine falls on Friday which is working day :( . My husband and I didn't really plan for any dinner on Valentine as it's will be jam to went out and most of the restaurants are reserved. So we plan to celebrate our Valentine on Saturday. Our plan is to have simple lunch at home and have our dinner at restaurant.

My husband spend the whole morning painting the unused dresser which we get it from his father friend. We could use the dresser to keep our baby clothing :) Save up a lot of money from the refurbish. I was too lazy to cook for our lunch and the weather outside is super hot.. so I choose to use online food delivery service which I just need to order online and wait for the food to be delivered to our house. It would save up a lot of time and I don't have to clean up my kitchen.

Have you heard about Foodpanda ? I kind of found out about this food delivery service while surfing the web a couple of weeks ago. This is the first time i'm using this service. Foodpanda is an online food delivery portal which we can order food online from the restaurant in Malaysia and get it delivered to our house. They have more than 300 restaurants such as Sushi King, Kenny Rogers, TGI and etc to choose from.

Since my husband is working so hard for the dresser, I'm thinking of giving him a nice treat for lunch :) The steps for ordering is simple. Before ordering, it's important that you sign up first as this is where you would key in your address for the delivery man to deliver the food to your house.

Once you sign up, you just need to key in which city you staying in Malaysia and where is your house location. For me, there's a couples of restaurants near to my place. We have Kenny Rogers, TGI, New York Burger, Xuan Xin restaurants, Morganfields..and etc.

:) I choose TGI because it's been a long time since we went to TGI for the steak and my husband is the fan for steak. Once you selected the restaurant you want, click Go to Menu.

It will display a lists of menu from you to choose from. The ordering time start from 11 am. I order 2 set of Ribeye steak from the menu. Upon ordering, it will display the total amount you need to pay including the delivery fee and 6% Goverment tax. Upon confirming the order, you click Preorder/Order.

You can choose for them to deliver the food to your house or you can went to the restaurant for pickup. Well the main purpose i'm using the ordering service is I'm lazy to went out, so definitely I'll choose for delivery to my house :). Once you place the order, they went sent a verification code to your handphone. Key in the verification code to finalize the ordering. Within 30 minutes, they will call you to confirm the ordering. Usually it will take 1 hour for them to delivered the food.

I completed my ordering at 12.30 pm and around 12.50 pm, I received a call from Foodpanda to confirm the ordering. I estimate to receive my food around 2.00 pm. But after waited for 1 hours plus, the food has not yet arrive. I manage to get thru Foodpanda hotline around 3 pm to confirm my ordering and asking why izzit taking so long. They says the food is on the way..I was like " What ? " The restaurant is just 30 min away from my house, why would it take so long. Anyway, delivery guy arrive with the food around 3.30 pm..=="""" which is way off my estimation time. Just in case you wandering, the delivery guy is from Foodpanda but the packaging of the food is done by TGI. Tada** this is how they pack the food.

When I receive the food, the steak is still warm but the vege, herb rice and the smash potatoes are cold. :(. Anyway I like the way they pack the food. At least the food are not all messed up. They have the aluminium foil to keep the steak warm. After waiting for so long, it's time to dig in :) The steak is nice and my husband enjoy it very much :) I didn't regret ordering the steak but regret ordering the vege as side dishes == cuz it taste weird.

Overall, I think the food ordering service is easy to use but it take longer time to deliver the food that what they have stated in their website. The service did save me a lot of hassle to drive out for food take away especially under the hot weather and I can avoid all the jam. At the same time we can still do our house core while waiting for the food :)

From time to time, if you check at the website, there will be new restaurant added. As I remember I checked the website couples weeks ago, we only have starbucks, 7Eleven, Morganfield, but this week, new restaurants are added to the lists which provide me with more lists of food to choose from. I'm looking forward for more restaurant to be added in and hope they can improve more on the delivery time. :) Another thing is that they have an apps for iOS and Android iphone. We can directly download the apps and order it from our mobile anything we want.

Hope you all enjoy reading thru my post..Till Then.

XOXO

Win Soon Cafe 亚顺生虾鱼头米

2014-01-21T15:24:00.000+08:00

Hello Everyone :) Happy New Year 2014 and Happy Chinese New Year...

During the Thaipusam holiday, I manage to went to KL for a few days trip...Went there to do some shopping and eating ;) During my trip, I manage to went to Win Soon Cafe in Kuchai Lama to try their famous Fresh Prawn Fish Head MeeHoon.

My husband highly recommend it as he try it several time during his business trip to KL. He say it was really nice especially the soup that go with the big prawn. I was like " Really nice mer??" So I insist to go there to try it myself during my trip to KL this time..ahaha

I reach there around 3 pm and the place is not so crowded. I think it's because pass lunch time which I think is good as I don't think I can wait too long as I was super hungry that time.

I like the supervisor that working there as she is super nice and friendly..She pass us the food catalogue and in just a few second, she come to ask what we want to order.

We order two bowl of Fresh Prawn Fish Head Meehoon, Veges and Fried Long So Prawn Ball.

In Just a few minutes, the food come. It was fast. :)

I love the soup so much..the flavour of the soup is just perfect. The smell of the alcohol is not too light or too strong. But I'm not sure whether they put the normal xiao xing wine or the XO wine..ahah..but it's just nice.. the prawn is super big..keke..I like the fried fish head as well..It's well fried and cripsy though it don't have much meat. The price for one bowl of Fresh Prawn Fish Head Meehoon is RM 18.80. It's a bit pricey for a meehoon but I think it's because of the prawn.

As for the Vege and Fried Long So Prawn ball, I would say the Vege (RM 5.80) and the prawn ball (RM 8.50) are just normal. Nothing special..haha..I would highly recommend to try out the meehoon. They have other flavour as well..Tomyam flavour but I didn't see many people order the Tomyam..So I'm not sure how it;s taste.

Overall, I think the Fresh Prawn Fish Head Meehoon is nice and would go try again when I went to KL next time :) 4 out of 5 for rating of the Meehoon.

Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink Crazy Tint Stick

2013-09-16T14:18:00.003+08:00

Hello all..Happy Malaysia Day..:) Hope everyone are enjoying their holidays. Today I'm back with a simple Tint Lipstick review. This product is Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink Crazy Tint Stick. I bought it at Tony Moly store in JB when I went there to visit my sis and my lovely nieces. I don't quite remember the price ( it might be around RM 38 to 40 plus ) as the price was discounted using my sister Tony Moly member card. I was looking at the lip stick counter and found this product while waiting for my sister to buy her compact powder. Out of curiosity, I try out the tint stick and I was amaze it with.

There are three colours for the tint stick and I choose the blue one as the blue one gives out a light pink colour when apply to your lips.

This is how it look inside. Don't be surprise by the colour. :) It changed colour upon application on lips or skin.

This tint lip stick glide smoothly when apply to my lips and it act as moisturiser lip balm for my dry clapped lips. The colour is not too bright and its give out just the right pink for my lips. It has just a slightly melon scent.

This is my lips before applying the tint lip stick

This is after applying the tint lip stick with two swipe. If you apply a few more swipe, it will be more pinky but somehow from this picture, I'm not sure why it look like a bit of purple colour.. ==""

The colour can last for three to fours hours even after eating and drinking which is good. Overall I like this product and wear it almost everyday when going to work ♥♥ ♥
